Annie NibliCkss Death.



CASE
Further investigation into the case OF the little
girl, Annie Niblick. whose nfeless body was found
by her father wednesday evening hanging from
the transom OF a door at her home, leads 20 the
suspicion that the girl'Sdeath was neither the
suit OF accident nor suicide. When the father
turned from has work and found his daughter
hanging I'm the house, his other two children, a
boy aged five years and an infant, Were crouched
I'm corner or the room badly frightened.
Mrs. McClelland and Flora, her daughter had
been there, and that Mrs. McClland had tied Annie
10 the door transom. Mrs. McCelland is a neigh
Dor OF Niblicks Little notice was at first taken
OF the child's story, but later I'm the night Nibck
reported the matter To the police MIS- McClel-
land and her daughter were placed under arrest,
and yesterday morning were committed TO await
the action or the coroner. Mr.. Niblick Is a Wild
over, and Annie, who was thirteen years OF age,
has been his housekeeper since the death OF the
mother. MIS- McClelland had separated from her
husband, and IL is asserted by some persons that
OF success would be improved were the little
housekeeper out OF the way. AT the hearing yes
terday the boy repeated his story and answered
all questions In a straightforward manner Mrs.
McClelland admitted that she visited the Niblick
house In the afternoon, Tut She denied that she
knew anything OF the girls death.
Detective Geyer, who was detailed 10 inveSff-
gaze the charge OF alleged murder, last evening
sent the following telegram TO Chief Kelly:
II was present at the poSt-mortem examination
| OF the body OF Annie Niblick to-day. There was
nothing 10 indicate murder. The girl stole two

work he would whip her. This is all the informal

The Prince Of wales Friend.

From London Letter
A considerable amount of comment OF an exceed
ing disagreeable nature is being caused In London
by the action taken by the Prince OF Wales in
nominating Mr. Edlin, q. C., the assistant judge
at the MiddleseX quarter sessions, 10 be deputy
treasurer OF the middle temple. II has already
been announced that the holder OF the latter Office
during the jubilee year Is TO be honored with a
title. Hence the choice OF Mr.. Edlin Is somewhat
significant.
Mr.. Edlin was the Judge before whom, two years
ago. the notorious MIS- Jeflreys appeared, charged
dsorderly house, the most aristocratc OF It's kind
In London The offense was one punishable by
penalty OF two years Imprisonment at hard labor.
Nothing daunted, however, Mrs. Jeffreys
tered the prisoners dock, and, perceiying that
her conviction was becoming a certainty, she de-
cla red her Intention of issuing subpenas 10 the
most notable OF her clients 10 witness In court
TO her reSpectablity. Not only the name OF the
king OF the Belgians but those OF other royal and
official personages, were included in the Sayory
list. Horror Struck the Judge withdrew 20 his
private room, where a short time Afterwards he
had a secret conference with Mrs. Jenreys and her
lady returned TO the prisoners dock, Withdrew her
plea OF not guilty and substituted one OF guilty
FAR as keeping disorderly house was concerned.
MT. Edlin thereupon imposed a line Of $1,000,
which the lady's counsel immediately paid, and
she was able TO leave the court without further
hindrance on the part or the law. The inspector
or metropolitan police, who had been guilty OF the
want VI tact OF dragging so highly belrieDded q
dame before the tribunals, was shortly afterwards
dismissed for incompetency and INSTRUMENTATION.
Some OF the London papers, notably the Pail
Mall Gazette, took up the matter at the time and
did not hesitate to publish King Leopolds name In
connection with the matter
The complaisant Judge Is therefore within reach
OF his reward unless, indeed, the outcry RAISED by
his appointment prevents the promised title from
being conferred In his case.
